A Catholic believes that the message of the early church and the Catholic church is the same. However the salvation message proclaimed by the Apostles Peter, Paul and John, and the early believers was that of grace through faith.
It was not salvation in any church but in the person of in Jesus Christ the Lord. Many bible believers have not really analyzed the history of the early church. It is therefore of great importance to study the history and message of the early church.
